IT is astonishing into what spasms
of virtuous Indignation a portion OF
the Republican press has worked
itself over the election OF Mr.. Hearst.
The fact that that gentleman has a
good deal of this worlds goods is
held by these gentry to incapacitate
him from holding a seat in the same
body with Philetus Sawyer, Warner
Miller, Leland Stanford and the other
millionaires who are said to number
thirty-three in a body which only
contains seventy-eight members.
The facts, as they are being disclosed
are singularly honorable to the new
Senator. In the heat OF the contest
he remarked to a friend that he was
sixty-six years of age and am bilious
of leaving to his son an unstained
name, and that if he could not get
the Senatorship without buying it he
wouldn't have it. What gave George
Hearst the prize may be summarized
very briefly. a. He is good Dem
ocrat, good man and is endowed
with far m ore than ordinary practical
ability. (2.) He was thrown out of
the Senate by a shabby Republican
trick and there was a strong feeling
about the matter. (3.) In the Er-
aminer he had furnished his party
with splendid organ that for years
has done capital work. These were
claims whose force all thinking peo-
pie can comprehend.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-01-21

Los ANGELES ought to feel highly
flattered at the high estimation in
which a residence here is held, oil
late. From every quarter of Califor-
mia gentlemen of winning manners
are thronging here, and with the
avowed intention Of being polite to
the strangers within our gates. They
propose to assist US in the duties oi
hospitality and to take off our hands
the task of entertaining them in all
cases where enticing circulars setting
forth the charms OF San Jose, Fresno
and other progressive sections OF
Central California and OF the San
Joaquin valley prove effectual. In
other words, Los Angeles is to drag
the chestnuts out of the fire and our
enterprising neighbors are to eat
them. If these gentlemen from above
can out-talk our real estate agents
and out "argufy" the press of Los
Angeles they are welcome to their
quarry.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-01-21

cdbtofn Ot6to tuo loCb Ou6uS -
borne in mind that in the former
localities there is a season OF the sum-
mer-that when the "corn is in the
tassel'-when the absence OF rain for
period of two weeks absolutely
ruins the crop. Here we have seen
corn advance to a splendid maturity
in the moist belt that never had had
drop of rain, and never knew what
it was to be irrigated.
While we have thought it exceed
ingly probable that the present would
be year OF curtailed rainfall, we
have. never for a moment doubted
that there would be enough moisture
to assure fair crops. The truth is
that for some years past we have had
too much rainfall for the prolific soil
and sun of Southern California. The
straw has been developed at
the expense of the kernel. If We
shall have six inches of rain from
now till the end of the season, and it
should come seasonably, we place
the prediction upon record that we
will have the best crops OF the cereals
which have been garnered in Los
Angeles for the last four or five years.
While the delayed rains have arrest
ed ploughing, and not more than hall
the area which would have been de-
voted to grain has been broken up,
| improved methods OF machinery are
available to enlarge this area at once.
On the Laguna farm they can put in
a thousand acres a week, and other
large farms are provided with almost
equalfacilities.
Should the present prove to be a
dry year certain things ought to be
remembered which make the situa-
ton roseate one. We have in this
! county great accumulation Of hay
and grain. We have tremendous
areas of alfalfa, a Chilian clover
which yields eight crops year. We
have large sections which are pro-
vided with the most perfect irrigating
facilities in the world. and they are
furnished with water from never fail
ing reservoirs. Our vineyards have
already yielded generous harvest.
and the grapes have been crushed
into pure wines and brandies which
are in demand in all the markets Of
the world. We are now engaged in
shipping bountlful orange crop,
which will be disposed of at remu.
nerative prices in the Eastern mar
kets, ard which will dominate those
markets long after the last Florida
orange has been sold. The indica-
tions are that Los Angeles alone will
ship eighteen hundred car loads OF
this delicious fruit to the East this
season. With myriads of intelligent
people from all quarters of the globe
thronging our streets, and investing
largely in real estate whose precious
possibilities they realize, with her
specialties OF the vineyard and orange
grove already secured, Los Angeles
could we'll afford to stand dry year
whose utmost drawbacks have al
ready been discounted. This is one
of the few countries in which the
distinctive and most remunerative
crops-wine, brandy and the citrus
fruits-are absolutely independent Of
the rainfall; and in which the eli
mate, which is leading constituent
in our progress and prosperity, gets
better as the air gets dryer.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-01-21

THE discovery Of petroleum in the
very heart of Los Angeles ought to
stimulate some of our energetic citi-
zens to testing the question as to
whether or not our city is not under
land by vast deposit of rock oil and
natural gas. Exceedingly well in
formed people from the Pennsylvania
oil regions have expressed the opin-
ion that both of these valuable staples
abound right here. No one is better
equipped for making exhaustive ex-
periments in this line than Mr.. He'll
man himself.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-01-21

THE late rain although light was
quite acceptable to our farmers. II
will encourage ploughing and if fol
lowed by another shortly will start
the grain in good shape. The action
of the grain market in San Francisco
show that in the State at large great
benefit has accrued to the wheat and
barley crops. There is no such sensi
tive barometer in such matters as the
grain exchanges.
